(N)SSHCGEWÖU Cable 0.6/1kV Heavy-Duty Mining Lighting Cable
(N)SSHCGEWÖU is a 0.6/1kV monitored heavy-duty rubber cable for mine and tunnel lighting systems.
- Purpose: Open-mine, underground-mine and tunnel lighting routes
- Conductor: Class 5 stranded tinned copper
- Insulation: 3GI3 compound on phase and control cores
- Monitoring: Uninsulated monitoring core with semiconductive separator
- Screen and sheath: Overall tinned-copper screen and 5GM5 outer sheath
- Boundary: Use the armoured -V version for cutters and drills
(N)SSHCGEWÖU Mine and Tunnel Lighting Cable
(N)SSHCGEWÖU is a 0.6/1 kV monitored cable for lighting circuits in open mines, underground mines and tunnels. Its Class 5 tinned-copper power and control conductors, uninsulated monitoring conductor, semiconductive layers, GM1b bedding, concentric tinned-copper screen and 5GM5 sheath form the non-armoured construction covered on this page. Do not confuse it with the armoured -V variant used for a different machine duty.
- Use when: the lighting circuit requires the documented monitoring function and non-V construction.
- Confirm first: phase, control and monitoring-core arrangement, load, route, termination and protection system.
- Choose another family when: the route is a VFD motor output, high-tensile reel or general heavy-duty power connection.
Compare the complete mining and tunneling cable range and the mobile-equipment selection guide before specifying a replacement for a working lighting and monitoring circuit during operation.
Frequently asked questions
Is (N)SSHCGEWÖU-V the same cable?
No. The -V variant adds pliable armour and serves a different mechanical duty.
What RFQ data prevents a wrong order?
Send the exact marking, core functions, voltage, load, route, monitoring system, length and required documents.
(N)SSHCGEWÖU Cable Construction
| Element | Construction | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Phase and control conductors | Class 5 stranded tinned copper | Flexible current and control paths. |
| Monitoring conductor | Uninsulated conductor with a semiconductive layer | Forms part of the external-damage monitoring circuit. |
| Insulation | 3GI3 compound on phase and control cores | Electrical insulation for the 0.6/1kV circuit. |
| Core separator | Semiconductive layer over insulated cores | Supports the intended monitored cable design. |
| Bedding | GM1B elastomer compound | Resilient layer around the laid-up core. |
| Overall screen | Concentric tinned-copper wires | Continuous overall screen between bedding and sheath. |
| Outer sheath | 5GM5 heavy-duty elastomer | External mechanical protection for the confirmed route. |
Variant boundary: the non-V construction shown here does not include the pliable armour specified on (N)SSHCGEWÖU-V.
Applications and Selection Boundaries
- Open-mine lighting circuits with an integrated monitoring conductor.
- Underground-mine and tunnel lighting power routes.
- High-output lighting systems exposed to demanding handling conditions.
- Industrial underground utility routes that match the monitored 0.6/1kV construction.
Do not confuse the non-V and -V products
Select (N)SSHCGEWÖU-V when the project calls for the armoured cutter/drill construction. Select an EMC drive cable such as (N)SSHCOEU for frequency-converter motor output. Select (N)TSCGEWÖU for medium-voltage mine distribution.
RFQ data
Send the exact cable marking, circuit voltage and load, phase/control/monitoring-core configuration, route length, termination and monitoring system, movement and bending duty, environmental exposure, drum length and required inspection or test documents.
